<h1>Document Editor: Dataset Objects</h1>
<p>Dataset Objects is on the left side of the Document Editor interface 
 and contains all of the items that can be placed on the document. These 
 items include attributes, metrics, custom groups, and consolidations from 
 an existing MicroStrategy report, regardless of whether or not they are 
 displayed on the report. For example, even if a metric is in the Report 
 Objects but not displayed on the grid, that metric is still listed as 
 a dataset object.</p>
<p>You can access the Dataset Objects panel by selecting <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Dataset 
 Objects</B></span> from the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Tools</B></span> 
 menu. </p>
<p>You can drag and drop items from <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Dataset 
 Objects</B></span> onto the Layout area to add them to the document. This 
 creates text fields in the Layout area. If you drag and drop a dataset 
 name from Dataset Objects to the Layout area, you create a Grid. You can 
 determine if the dataset is displayed as a Grid, Graph, or Grid/Graph 
 by right-clicking the dataset grid, highlighting <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>View 
 Mode</B></span>, and selecting&nbsp;the appropriate mode. </p>
<p>Dataset Objects first displays the dataset name, then lists the objects 
 used in it. If multiple datasets are included on the document, the name 
 of the primary dataset is displayed with bold text; all others are secondary. 
 For more information on primary and secondary datasets, see 
<a HREF="Working_with_multiple_datasets.htm">Working 
 with multiple datasets</a>.</p>
